OBJECTIVES

This webinar will help accountants understand how technology, automation and AI can improve practice profitability, not just productivity. Attendees will learn how to identify inefficient workflows, create capacity without increasing headcount, and use digital tools to strengthen client service and commercial outcomes. By the end of the session, delegates will be able to prioritise practical changes that reduce admin, improve team productivity and support sustainable firm growth.

KEY TOPICS

• Why productivity gains do not always translate into profitability

• Mapping manual workflows that drain capacity and margin

• Using Sage for Accountants and Sage Accounting to streamline client collaboration

• Improving onboarding, bookkeeping and client data quality through connected digital workflows

• Using automation and AI to reduce admin, improve turnaround times and support advisory conversations

• Turning efficiency gains into stronger pricing, client service and profitability

• Practical proof points and examples firms can use when encouraging clients to adopt cloud accounting

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

• Practice owners, partners and directors looking to improve profitability through technology and automation.

• Practice managers and operations leads responsible for workflow, capacity and client onboarding.

• Accountants and bookkeepers supporting clients moving to cloud accounting, including through Sage Accounting and Sage for Accountants.
